"If we follow Zhou Bin's wishes like this, how will Zhou Bin listen to me after he gets what he wants? What I need most now is someone who can really help me. Lin Feng smiled proudly, "The more people who really help me, the better." Besides, the mother concubine may not know, in fact, the father of the Ministry of Shangshu has already been chosen. ”

Xiao Guifei was stunned, "Candidate? Who? ”

"The second master of the Dingguo Mansion. His father already liked him. If I go to talk about Zhou Bin to my father again, it will inevitably attract my father's dislike. Lin Feng said.

Concubine Xiao Guifei wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, "Ah Feng is really well-informed, fortunately, the palace hasn't had time to mention it to the emperor, otherwise it will make the emperor unhappy." ”

Lin Feng has more eyeliner in the palace, which is greater than Xiao Guifei's imagination, and this news has naturally reached Lin Feng's ears a long time ago. Lin Feng actually had another idea in his heart, "This king will help Zhou Bin be promoted, but it is not the official department who is promoted." ”

Zhou Yunluo naturally didn't know that Lin Feng and Xiao Guifei had no intention of helping Zhou Bin get promoted, and after returning home, the old Duchess asked, thinking of Xiao Guifei's warm reception of her, she said: "Guifei Niangniang likes me very much, and promised to help my father." ”

The old duchess was overjoyed, "The concubine is willing to help, and that Bin'er will definitely get what she wants this time." ”

So, the old duchess and the second room gave up doing anything more, just waiting for the good news to come down.

Border.

The blood-like sunset stained the Gobi in front of him red.

A jagged bare rock, jutting out of a sandy wasteland.

There are no trees, no water, and only occasionally a little bit of low green can be found in the back of the bare rock.

This is the color of rare life outside the border gates.

A lizard, lazily lying on the ground, in this kind of weather, the less it moves, the more it can conserve its physical strength.

Suddenly, a sudden wind rose, dust and sand blew blindly, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the sun, and the hot wind turned into a cold wind.

The sun was sinking rapidly in the west, and the entire Gobi Desert was soon plunged into darkness.

There was a dead silence all around, as if time had stopped.

And the lizard just now had already disappeared as quickly as a swimming snake.

Twelve-year-old Lin Zhongchao finally rushed to the border.

However, after receiving the news, the prince and Zhou Jinxuan should be stationed here, but they didn't even see a single tent.

In the distance, there was the sound of fighting one after another.

It is very sharp in the dark night, cutting people's skin.

Not far away, there were already corpses strewn all over the field.

A jade-faced general pulled the horse rope with one hand and waved a broadsword in the other, and slashed at the swarming soldiers. Then he fought his way out of the bloody road and came to a middle-aged aristocratic man who was dying and covered in blood.

"Prince, General Weng is reversed! The last will take you out of here right away! ”

The aristocratic man's face was already pale, he raised his head and looked at the flying sand in the distance, "Jinxuan, hasn't Beidi withdrawn yet?" ”

Zhou Jinxuan nodded and wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead, "The main force of Beidi has been eliminated, but it is our own people who attack us at this time." ”

"Your own people?" The prince couldn't believe it, his blazing eyes showed that he was not old and decrepit, "General Weng is just a deputy general, and he has no reason to lead troops against our own people." ”

"It's true that General Weng and Beidili should join forces and kill us by surprise." Zhou Jinxuan said that he was going to help the prince, "We have already been wiped out." But as long as I, Zhou Jinxuan, am here, I won't let the prince have anything to do. ”

The prince smiled bitterly, "Brother Jinxuan, hurry up." Their target is me, you are a light horse, you can easily get out of it. If you take me this drag ......"

"Prince! You don't have to say that! It's my duty to protect you! I won't leave you to let the traitors get their way! Let's go back to Beijing together, explain to the emperor, and find out the truth! Zhou Jinxuan said, slashing and killing a few soldiers who rushed up, and wanted to take the prince away.

General Weng led his soldiers and surrounded him like an iron bucket.

"Zhou Jinxuan, His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't escape!" General Weng held a sharp blade in his hand, and his cry in the moonlit night was like a ghost's cry.

"The surname Weng, the prince treats you well, why do you want to betray the prince?" Zhou Jinxuan shouted.

"Don't blame me, I was forced too. Whoever made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince weak and sickly, who made the position of the prince can only be one, but there are too many people who want it. General Weng said, with a slight guilt on his face.

The prince is benevolent and righteous, and his subordinates are all like brothers, how can he not know? But he couldn't help but betray the prince.

He has a hard time, he believes that as long as the task is completed today, the broad road, glory and wealth will follow.

"Livestock!" Zhou Jinxuan hates this kind of traitor seeking glory the most, especially when he even disregards the interests of the country, privately colludes with Beidi to attack his own people, and kills them with a big knife.

Helpless, the enemy is outnumbered, Zhou Jinxuan still has to protect the prince, and gradually, his physical strength is a little exhausted.

"Jinxuan, let's go! Their target is just me. The prince asked again.

"No way!" Zhou Jinxuan refused as soon as he took a bite.

Suddenly, the situation changed.

A young man rode a reddish-brown war horse and galloped at lightning speed, and with just one sword, he cut off the head of General Weng, who was caught off guard!

"General Weng is dead, I was sent by the emperor, which of you dares to disobey the orders of the crown prince and General Zhou, behead!" The voice was still that of a young twelve-year-old, but it was full of power and killing.

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you.

The master is dead, who are they still working for? What if you kill the crown prince? Can they still take the place of their master?

In addition, this young man can quietly kill the main general among the ten thousand armies, as if he has entered a no-man's land.

Who are his opponents?

After weighing for a moment, the soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

The young man picked up General Weng's head with the tip of a knife, then wrapped it in a cloth, threw it into the baggage, and said sharply: "Weng thief is a collaborator to murder the prince, and it has nothing to do with you!" As long as you carefully escort the prince back to Beijing, you can make up for it! ”

"Yes!" This time, the soldiers answered neatly.

"Stand down!" The boy shouted.

The soldiers retreated.

The young man dismounted and walked quickly to the prince, "Father! ”

Only then did Zhou Jinxuan see clearly that the young man who came was Lin Zhongchao, the emperor's grandson!

"Chao'er, why are you here?" The prince reached out and touched his son's face, happy and worried.

Lin Zhongchao said: "My son has come to save you." ”

The prince shook his head, "Good boy, it's just a pity, even if you kill them, you won't be able to save me." Someone poisoned me, and I couldn't delay it until I returned to the capital. ”

Lin Zhongchao hurriedly checked the prince's pulse, only to find that the pulse was already very confused, and his eyes were sad, "How can this be, is it that I am still a step too late?" ”
